Project Hail Mary review: got emotional over Ryan Gosling’s friendship with a little rock guy. 10/10 not optional

my guy @jayjaypost.bsky.social really has a knack for finding these incredible stories in the far reaches of college sports. Also there is a miniature daschund with a shark fin on its back somewhere in this photo

sometimes it does look a little cinematic #hema #longsword

this was, I think, the point where it became real for most everybody in America. Short of a strike, this sort of thing never happened in the major pro leagues — until it did

THE BOY

My CCD teacher told me that if I was playing baseball and the umpire called me safe and I knew he was out then God would want me to correct him. Made me go “hey wait a second.” My teammates would have killed me and they’d have been right to do so

my guy @jayjaypost.bsky.social went deep on the unbelievably difficult test that Duke students use to determine who gets premium seats for the annual UNC game.

with music added

"Why do you want to have a 1970s music pavilion at the Shakespeare festival?" "It features wine made by the chairman of the Chinese Communist Party!" "But how does that make it anything to do with Shakespeare?" "Mao is the vintner of our disco tent!" [Exit, pursued by a bear]

MAEKAR: Now look, I don’t know which blow killed my brother CHOTINER: You’re a renowned fighter. Do you usually not keep track of what you’re hitting? M: Hold on. My boy was in danger C: Aerion. Is exile in Essos proper punishment for a false accusation? M: Well — C: It seems like a vacation

CHA is a very good stat in D&D and by far the most overpowered stat IRL. Leaves all the physical stats and INT in the dust, challenged only by WIS.

“A strange game. The only winning move … is to go full send bro, just empty the silos, end the whole thing”

Sums up a lot of my thoughts on this incredible show

My platform: a subsidized historical fencing club in every school (I am elected with 102 percent of the vote)

In episode 5 of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, Duncan grabs his sword by its blade and hits someone in the balls with the crossguard, like a hammer. This is a real historical technique called a “mordhau” which is German for “murderstrike”

this but instead of Buffalo Wild Wings it's "come join my historical fencing club" www.bostonarmizare.org/new

In this account we stan Sgt. Patrick Harper and Mr. Nock’s gun

This sort of thing should be treated like desecrating a national landmark

Legit thought this was Gronk for a second

Got to talk about swords for a bit on the radio

On the short list for funniest person who's ever lived. Incredible loss

Neil Gaiman. The man wrote with what seemed like such empathy and grace and turned out to be an actual monster. Haven’t looked at a single thing he’s made since.

I am very glad the Patriots won this game but I am like 20 percent sure they’re gonna get absolutely boatmurdered in the Super Bowl

Tony Romo just said the Patriots have an advantage on defense because their white jerseys tough to see in the snow and I thought that was ridiculous but then Stidham immediately threw an interception so???

dying at “claudeswarms” imagining consulting a horde of Frenchmen every time I go to the grocery story

I edited a piece my guy @jayjaypost.bsky.social wrote about the 1894 squad. Football was very strange (and deadly) back then www.espn.com/college-foot...

Much like Warhammer 40k, you have to either add or subtract a zero in any number mentioned in Twin Peaks for it to make sense

this stupid sport still gets me a little misty sometimes

These are the icy mountains of Pluto. It took 9 years to get these magnificent images… and 4.8 billion kilometers.

The Bears should send Caleb Williams out there with like weights and blinders on like Harrison Bergeron so whatever witchcraft he uses when making impossible throws is permanently activated

This is a stat line you see from an overmatched sophomore QB facing off against prime Alabama in the natty

“The future cannot come to pass. The witches must live”

One riot, one Reginald

I was this kid. Also into Calvin & Hobbes and Foxtrot to the point where I had a bunch of strips in book form. Calvin & Hobbes is the only one which I've culturally retained long-term

This is about Drake Maye

well done, thou good and faithful servant

Back in college the local late-night coffee place had a stack of print edition Onions which my friends and I would read to one another while howling with laughter. They were formative to my sense of humor and I’m so glad to hold a physical copy of @theonion.com again

This is not a place of honor Fa la la la la, la la la la

Pluribus season finale

CHOTINER: and when you're in water you PARTICLE MAN: don't get wet, that's right. CHOTINER: And this is because PARTICLE MAN: the water gets me instead. It becomes particle-manish CHOTINER: There's been some debate on this point. Triangle Man, for example PARTICLE MAN: I think we're done here

Pluribus is actively hostile to the mystery box format. Big questions are resolved almost immediately, others are pushed aside for legit reasons (“who are the aliens? No idea man they’re too far away”), all in the service of Rhea Seehorn, Karolina Wydra etc. talking. I adore it

Those new to Bsky need to be made aware of one of the greatest skeets ever, deleted long before its time.

There are weeks where decades happen
